You certainly can!  The IW2 requires a serial interface so you will
need a serial card for your machine.  The most common serial card is
the Apple Super Serial Card (SSC) but many other third-party cards
are functionally equivalent.  First, I would try to find one locally
and if that doesn't work, call a vendor (like Sequential Systems)
or mail order company.  Of course, you can try buying a card from
someone over in ".marketplace" but usually involves a little more
risk than the previous options.

You will need a serial printer cable to match the connector on the
serial card (usually a DB-25) and the mini DIN-8 found on the IW2.
